Texas Instruments (TI) said it is expanding support for the Zephyr Project across its embedded portfolio.

The integration covers the full lineup of MCUs, MPUs, and wireless connectivity devices, and TI said it provides an integrated development environment for embedded developers that is ready for mass production.

TI said it plans to regularly update Zephyr-based SDKs to help address vulnerabilities and support long-term stability and compliance.

Texas Instruments (TI) announced that it is expanding support for the open-source real-time operating system Zephyr Project across its embedded portfolio. The integration covers the company’s full lineup of microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors (MPUs), and wireless connectivity devices.

Through this effort, TI is providing an integrated development environment that is ready for mass production across MCUs, MPUs, and wireless connectivity devices. The environment is aimed at embedded developers.

The development environment is designed to shorten development timelines. It is also intended to help developers build systems that comply with the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

TI and the Zephyr Project are pursuing this partnership. The goal is to enable a wide range of developers to build broad systems on a single, streamlined platform.

TI plans to regularly update Zephyr-based software development kits (SDKs) under the Linux Foundation's long-term support framework. The purpose of these regular SDK updates is to address vulnerabilities, and TI said this will help developers build products that maintain long-term stability and compliance.

Marianne Costello, TI's vice president and general manager of wireless connectivity, said that TI and Zephyr allow developers to leverage design and scaling capabilities across TI's MCU, MPU, and wireless connectivity portfolio. She explained that developers can use TI semiconductors while maintaining familiar open-source workflows, and can also tap broad hardware and software support and reliable supply capabilities throughout the process, from prototyping to mass production.

Kate Stewart, vice president of dependable embedded systems at the Linux Foundation, said that vendor-neutral RTOSs require joint development among multiple companies to fulfill their role. She said TI's support for Zephyr across its broad portfolio is evidence of that commitment, and explained that developers can use a community-supported foundation that emphasizes security and long-term maintenance to design across TI MCUs, MPUs, and wireless devices on an upstream-first common platform.
